“It’s an outstanding line-up. It’s a full air show. We had to actually turn performers away because we didn’t have any room for them,” George Gorman of the New York State Parks Department. “The United States Navy Blue Angels are headlining along with the Canadian Forces Snowbirds.”

The Blue Angels aren’t just the fighter jets, but also their support team – including the C-130 cargo jet “Fat Albert.”

“I didn’t even know I wanted to fly until I was 29 years old. I worked in television,” Fat Albert Captain John Hecker told WCBS 880’s Alex Silverman on Friday. “and they said ‘Hey, you want to fly?’ and I said ‘sure.'”

“It’s great to be home back on Long Island,” Liggieri said. “It’s also great to be home and get to bring the F-22 out to the show.”

The air show is on Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. For details, click here.

The Air Show practice session over Jones Beach was officially cancelled Friday due to persistent foggy conditions, Rivera reported.

There will also be some much needed renovations coming to Jones Beach this summer.

“The west bathhouse is going to receive nearly $9 million to refurbish it,” Gorman said. “It needs it, with a lot of leaks, a lot of problems that have to be addressed. So, that’s a great thing for state parks.”
